Who lives in the Ohio/Pittsburgh area, with a car trailer ?

according to my owners manual, because of my transmission, the max trailer tow is 3,600lbs. we need to know how much the car weighs period and if it can be towed rear wheels down in neutral. if the car is 3000 even...does anyone know how much a tow dolly weighs? we have 600lbs to play with!

if we can do it...reserve a tow dolly and all you have to pay me is gas. i.e we leave with a full tank, we get back, you fill it up again before we part company.

umm wait...don't you have an f150? what transmission do you have?

 

the f150's giving me trouble....lots of it .....anything that can go wrong is.......to be truthful i have no clue what transmission it has. my friend offered me 400 for it the other day, and im probably gonna take it and not have anything for awhile i know it sounds stupid but do it before something else goes wrong so i can just get 400 for it.......the inspection is also about to be up.....infact i think it was up today !!!! (woops) .. but i know the cars gonna need two, back tires and two back rims because the owner needs them. so im gonna need to find two 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern rims

 

and theres another problem i just thought of.....i cant put the title in my name....because i only have my permant.....i still drive with it but thats all i got.....and my mom doesnt have a license.....so i need to find somebody to put the car in there name for me, sh*t !!!!!

 

how the deuce do you get from point a to point b if your mom doesnt have a license? furthermore who is teaching you how to drive?
if you are 18 you can get it in your name regardless of weather or not you have a license.... putting it on the road can be done as well. driving it....do that w/o a license at your own peril!

 

she drives, doesnt have a license but she drives......she drove for ten years without a license......and i just dont speed (too much) and she taught me how to drive.......question.....is it illegal to keep a car in your name if you dont have a plate on it ?.....i know you have to have a license to put a car in your name though.

 

you can put it in your name even if you dont have a liscense ??

 

I was going to give you KUDOS and tell you...you da MAN, A1. But, it seems, that after all the lining up with the owner of the Pacer and having you jump in with a more than kind offer....it's taking a slide down the tubes on 82cap's end. Cap...has this all been a dream that you can't fulfill? You had to know these things when you were asking for help.

 

no...you have to have a license to drive! i went to college with a blind kid who had his own car. he had his friends drive him places. he had it registered and insured in his name ...pretty sure he didnt have a license. how old are you ?

 

no its not that......its just iv never really done this kinda thing......and now im think of all this stuff at once and im AHHH ......i do give great kudo's to a1.....and im gonna try to do his deal, i really am.....gotta see if my mom can put it in her name first and gotta see if i can find somewhere to put it.....im gonna be on top of this.....believe me, im doing everything i can for this stuff to work out.....like i said above though i never did this kinda thing with transporting a car and it can become alot more work than i thought it would. but next time i go to do this stuff i will be ALOT more prepared

 

i am 16, about to be 17

 

Honestly Cap, you should let the people who are holding the car for you know it "may" not happen, it's a karma thing.....

...

 

Give cap more time....the Pacer owner is out of town anyway.

 

You might want to check on state laws. In some states if you tow with a dolly (i.e. wheels on the road) you need plates on the car.

 

You can get a temp for that. IF necessary. Guess you'd have to check with Ohio and Pa.

 

Yeah. Free is good.........
